VGX producers are extremely happy with the success of this year’s show, and are already planning for next year

Despite the vitriol online, this year’s VGX Awards appear to have been a big success on a technical level, with the show bringing more viewers for more time than they had every thought possible. Viacom’s Erik Flannigan said that the show “exceeded” their expectations, and that the average view time (32 minutes) was “way beyond our wildest dreams”.

“Yes, we would love to do this show again and those are the discussions we are having right now, and we’ll produce that show, that stream in the same way we produced this year’s which is to take the feedback of the gamers, good and bad.”

“The only thing we can do is assure gamers that we are listening. They can tell from the show we built this year that we like them talking to us. Good, bad, ugly, we want to them to continue to talk to us at the decibel that they have been.”

I don’t see how any video game developer in their right mind would attend next year’s show. For what, to be disrespected?

If they considered that display a success then I’d hate to see what their idea of a disaster would look like. Talk about damage control. Well, I’m glad they warned us ahead of time not to bother with it next year then because it certainly won’t be getting any better with that level of delusional thinking.
